What hours would we work? What would the weather be like? We muse on the make-up of an ideal nation</b> </blockquote> <p><span class="m_first-letter">N</span>early 200,000 years ago, humans made their first strides out of Africa in a quest that would see them one day populate the whole world. Century by century, civilisations rose and fell from east to west; their varying cultures preserved and segregated by oceans. </p> <p>Societies in what are now the Americas had no idea of the inventions being made in China. Indigious tribes in Australia knew nothing of the clans in Africa. Only in recent history have we joined the dots and only today do we have the whole picture.</p> <p>And so, armed with these insights, imagine you are a wizard with the power to create a new nation on Earth in which to live, with different attributes cherry-picked from any countries you like. What would it look like? It would probably not, as far as I’m concerned, be a land-locked municipality with the climate of Siberia, the food of Lithuania, the attitude of Parisians and the railway network of Britain.</p> <p>I did some digging on the subject, reviewed the world’s '<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/galleries/worlds-happiest-countries/" target="_blank">happiest countries</a>' and their customs, spoke to the rest of the Telegraph Travel team, and posed the question to readers - all to gather the material needed with which to invent a Franken-nation of excellence.

Personally, I favour desert conditions - hot and dry during the day, cool in the evenings - and steer clear of jungles; their claustrophobic humidity and multitude of insects. I'd settle on the climate of coastal California. Residents of this state have every reason to brag, and not just because it's so reliably sunny... </p> <h3>Topography</h3> <p>Warmth aside, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/north-america/united-states/california/" target="_blank">California</a> benefits from a host of topographic perks that make it unique. First, its terrain is exceptionally diverse (lofty peaks, rich forest, golden beaches). Crucially, its high mountain ranges shelter it from powerful polar gusts from the north, and the generally clockwise direction of the prevailing winds limit the force of Pacific storms. </p> <p>Its equatorial position ensures plenty of sunshine, with warm wind that blows in from the eastern Mojave Desert. But the 'California Current' that brings cool ocean water down the east coast absorbs enough solar energy to keep the air from being too oppressively hot, and renders the humidity very low compared to other regions on the same latitude. </p> <div class="articleBodyImage section"> <div class="article-body-image component " itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject" data-frz-ancestor> <div class="component-content"> <figure> <span class="article-body-image-image-container"> <div class="lazy-image article-body-image-image " style="padding-top:66.67%;" data-js="LazyImage" data-class="lazy-image__img" data-src="/web/20200215113205oe_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=480" data-srcset="/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=480 480w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=960 960w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=580 580w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=1160 1160w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=620 620w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=1240 1240w" data-sizes="100vw,(min-width: 480px) 480px,(min-width: 730px) 580px,(min-width: 1008px) 620px" data-alt="California's lovely topography"> <noscript> <img class="responsive lazy-image__img article-body-image-image" src="/web/20200215113205im_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/terrain.jpg?imwidth=480" alt="California's lovely topography"/> </noscript> </div> </span> <figcaption> <span itemprop="caption" class="article-body-image-caption">California's lovely topography</span> <span itemprop="copyrightHolder" class="article-body-image-copyright"> <span class="article-body-image-copyright-label">Credit:</span> getty </span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <p>Unlike California, however, this Franken-nation would like to remain, like Britain, an island - not too far from the nearest mainland but far enough to enjoy our personal space.

Undeniably, there are political advantages to having a far-reaching territory, not to mention the lifestyle privileges of being able to ski, sunbathe, swim and mountain-climb without stepping past your own borders. </p> <p>But just like the running of a major corporation over a medium-sized company, there are drawbacks to being large. There's more to manage, it's harder to make significant constitutional changes should you need to, and the more land you cover, the more diverse its population and at-odds their prerogatives - precisely the reason Brexiteers think we’d be better off out of the EU. </p> <p>And while some of the biggest countries in the world, primarily the US and China, may indeed be the richest, it's actually the smaller nations that are the wealthiest per capita - a far better metric for the people living there. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/middle-east/qatar/" target="_blank">Qatar</a> occupies just 11,586 sq km (that's 20 times smaller than Britain) and tops the list with a GDP per capita of nearly £100,000 (more than double that of the UK).

Natives from large nations like Australia and the USA often scoff when they hear a Briton describe their journey from, say, London to Edinburgh as being 'long'.</p> <p>This is probably a category for the Goldilocks approach; not too big, not too little. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/africa/south-africa/" target="_blank">South Africa</a> seems like a good size, allowing for the diversity of landscape enjoyed by larger countries - from its great safari bushland in the east, its Kalahari desert conditions in the north west, and abundance of coastline either side - without being so sprawling as to be unmanageable. In short, just right. </p> <h3>Population</h3> <p>Confucius had it right when he predicted 1,500 years ago on the prospect of swelling communities: "Excessive growth may reduce output per worker, repress levels of living for the masses and engender strife." Of all the problems our planet now faces, overpopulation is the elephant in the room. So how many people should our Franken-nation add to the mix?</p> <p>Thinkers and planners have been tossing theories around as to what makes the ideal population density since long before Confucius. These days, at least according to renowned Stanford population analyst Paul Ehrlich, the optimum population worldwide - "enough to guarantee the minimal physical ingredients of a decent life to everyone" – is 1.5 to 2 billion people. We're currently at 7.7 billion, hurtling fast towards 9 billion by 2050.</p> <div class="articleBodyImage section"> <div class="article-body-image component " itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject" data-frz-ancestor> <div class="component-content"> <figure> <span class="article-body-image-image-container"> <div class="lazy-image article-body-image-image " style="padding-top:66.67%;" data-js="LazyImage" data-class="lazy-image__img" data-src="/web/20200215113205oe_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=480" data-srcset="/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=480 480w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=960 960w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=580 580w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=1160 1160w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=620 620w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=1240 1240w" data-sizes="100vw,(min-width: 480px) 480px,(min-width: 730px) 580px,(min-width: 1008px) 620px" data-alt="Iceland has a population density of about nine people for every square mile"> <noscript> <img class="responsive lazy-image__img article-body-image-image" src="/web/20200215113205im_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/iceland%201.jpg?imwidth=480" alt="Iceland has a population density of about nine people for every square mile"/> </noscript> </div> </span> <figcaption> <span itemprop="caption" class="article-body-image-caption">Iceland has a population density of about nine people for every square mile</span> <span itemprop="copyrightHolder" class="article-body-image-copyright"> <span class="article-body-image-copyright-label">Credit:</span> getty </span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <p>Too many humans living egg-and-bird is obviously not a good thing.

Other countries with low population densities include the likes of Namibia, Australia and Iceland - all very appealing domains. In <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/iceland/" target="_blank">Iceland</a>’s case, it’s about nine people for every square mile.</p> <h3>Transport system</h3> <p>How people like to get from A to B varies hugely, no more so than on our travel desk. If Oliver Smith had his way, our Franken-nation would have the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/activity-and-adventure/an-epic-bike-ride-across-france-in-memory-of-my-mother/" target="_blank">bicycle-friendly</a> ethos of the Netherlands.

For an ultra-efficient rail network, we should look to Japan's bullet trains. For tip-top cycle lanes, Scandinavia wins hands down - in Copenhagen, for example, more than 60 per cent of its residents get to work or school by bike. </p> <div class="articleBodyImage section"> <div class="article-body-image component " itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject" data-frz-ancestor> <div class="component-content"> <figure> <span class="article-body-image-image-container"> <div class="lazy-image article-body-image-image " style="padding-top:66.67%;" data-js="LazyImage" data-class="lazy-image__img" data-src="/web/20200215113205oe_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=480" data-srcset="/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=480 480w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=960 960w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=580 580w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=1160 1160w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=620 620w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=1240 1240w" data-sizes="100vw,(min-width: 480px) 480px,(min-width: 730px) 580px,(min-width: 1008px) 620px" data-alt="Copenhagen is a cyclists heaven"> <noscript> <img class="responsive lazy-image__img article-body-image-image" src="/web/20200215113205im_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/Copenhagen.jpg?imwidth=480" alt="Copenhagen is a cyclists heaven"/> </noscript> </div> </span> <figcaption> <span itemprop="caption" class="article-body-image-caption">Copenhagen is a cyclists heaven</span> <span itemprop="copyrightHolder" class="article-body-image-copyright"> <span class="article-body-image-copyright-label">Credit:</span> istock </span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <p>Back to Asia we go for the best underground metro system, where Hong Kong's MTR is immaculately clean, brilliantly quick and reliable, Wi-Fi fitted and widely praised by travellers the world over. </p> <p>As for the roads, the World Economic Forum reckons the United Arab Emirates has the best system in terms of both its infrastructure and quality of the tarmac.

The UK takes fifth place. Why does Switzerland keep winning, aside from its exports of velcro, the Red Cross, and direct democracy? Lacking much in the way of natural resources, it's a country that has been forced to be creative in other ways.</p> <p>Says Credit Suisse: "Since the country was largely spared the ravages of the Second World War, it was in an excellent position, with intact, export-oriented production facilities, to benefit from Europe’s post-war reconstruction. Also helpful is Switzerland’s liberal, stability-oriented economic policy and traditional emphasis on hard work, dedication and education."

Siestas. All of us, it seems, are tired and would welcome a better work-life balance. Some countries are starting to address it. In the US, and particularly Silicon Valley, 'nap pods' for company employees have been springing up in recent years (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/advice/jet-sleep-tired-travellers-hotel-airline-solutions/" target="_blank">I tested one in London</a>), and low and behold, they have proven to increase, not limit, productivity.</p> <p>What, then, of the four-day work week, which Jeremy Corbyn was widely ridiculed for proposing in the run up to the last general election? Not as mad as you might think. In summer 2019, Microsoft tested it out in its Japan offices. For the duration of the trial, the company reported a 40 per cent increase in productivity and, bonus, a 23 per cent reduction in electricity costs. A similar experiment has since been conducted in New Zealand, where a 20 per cent uptick in efficiency was observed.</p> <p>In fact, the more you drill into the figures, the more it becomes clear that the countries around the world with the shortest working hours (Germany, Denmark Norway, the Netherlands) are actually among the most productive, certainly according to the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/02/greeks-work-longest-hours-in-europe/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">World Economic Forum</a>. "The average German worker is reported to be 27 per cent more productive than his or her British counterpart," its latest findings read. The Germans, depressingly, work an average of 26 hours a week, compared to 42.3 hours in the UK. </p> <div class="articleBodyImage section"> <div class="article-body-image component " itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject" data-frz-ancestor> <div class="component-content"> <figure> <span class="article-body-image-image-container"> <div class="lazy-image article-body-image-image " style="padding-top:66.5%;" data-js="LazyImage" data-class="lazy-image__img" data-src="/web/20200215113205oe_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=480" data-srcset="/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=480 480w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=960 960w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=580 580w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=1160 1160w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=620 620w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=1240 1240w" data-sizes="100vw,(min-width: 480px) 480px,(min-width: 730px) 580px,(min-width: 1008px) 620px" data-alt="Are nap pods the answer?"> <noscript> <img class="responsive lazy-image__img article-body-image-image" src="/web/20200215113205im_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/nap%20pods.jpg?imwidth=480" alt="Are nap pods the answer?"/> </noscript> </div> </span> <figcaption> <span itemprop="caption" class="article-body-image-caption">Are nap pods the answer?</span> <span itemprop="copyrightHolder" class="article-body-image-copyright"> <span class="article-body-image-copyright-label">Credit:</span> getty </span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <p>Putting aside our primal cry for rest, another enviable trait to have emerged from our inquiries was the Medditerran tendency to dine later in the evening than we Britons typically do. According to Laura Fowler, this approach reigns in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/middle-east/israel/articles/reasons-to-visit-israel-mediterranean-holidays/" target="_blank">Tel Aviv</a>: "Locals there traditionally go out to dinner once the kids are in bed, and bars stay open as long as there are people drinking in them. Why close when everyone is having a good time?"</p> <p>One Britishism, though, I think we can all agree on keeping is that which no other nation can compete on: proper, traditional pubs.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/england/articles/best-pubs-with-rooms-england-hotel/" target="_blank">The best pubs with rooms in England</a></li> </ul> <h3>To summarise</h3> <p>Our Franken-nation: a beautiful island of mountains, forest and beaches, about the size of South Africa, with the sunny climes of California. A population comparable to Iceland, with the healthcare system of France. Bicycle lanes to rival the Netherlands'. Hong Kong's zippy underground network, and internet as fast as Singapore's. Italian food, Swiss tap water and British pubs. We'll have Japan's bullet trains, thank you very much, as well, and its loos and its vending machines. We shall work less, like the Germans, and spend more time in saunas and the great outdoors, like the Finns. </p> <p>Siestas will anchor our warm days, and as our deeply enriching lives draw to an end, we won't degenerate in nursing homes, but check into Digitas, get into bed and go to sleep.</p> <div class="htmlEmbed section"><div class="html-embed component "> <div class="component-content"> <aside id="a9a7e65f-6a9e-4abe-b0a9-2947b0e3f3bc" data-data-uri="https://particle-api.eip.telegraph.co.uk/particles/a9a7e65f-6a9e-4abe-b0a9-2947b0e3f3bc" data-html-uri="https://cf-particle-html.eip.telegraph.co.uk/a9a7e65f-6a9e-4abe-b0a9-2947b0e3f3bc.html" class="tmg-particle embed" data-reg-required="false" data-reg-redirect="" data-sub-required="false" data-sub-redirect="" data-widget-type="embed" data-widget-title="Dream trips Travel index page embed" data-widget-size="responsive" data-widget-static="false" data-expandable="false" data-embeddable="true"><a title="Dream trips Travel index page embed" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205/https://cf-particle-html.eip.telegraph.co.uk/a9a7e65f-6a9e-4abe-b0a9-2947b0e3f3bc.html">Dream trips Travel index page embed</a></aside><script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200215113205js_/https://cf.eip.telegraph.co.uk/particle-embed/js/particle.js" defer></script> </div> </div> </div> <h5>Over to you</h5> <p><b>What have we got right?
